Jammu, Dec 13: Former J&K Chief Minister and Democratic Azad Party (DAP) chairman, Ghulam Nabi Azad today said that he as a Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir had sent a report to the then Prime Minister of India Dr Manmohan Singh and Union Home Minister, Shivraj Patil about the links of some political leaders of the State with the militants but the Central leadership took no action in this regard.
Making sensational disclosures during an interview with Times Now TV channel here today, Azad who had left Congress Party recently, said when he was the Chief Minister in the coalition Government in Jammu and Kashmir, he received reports about the links of some mainstream political leaders with the militant outfits.
“Since I do not believe in hearsay, I tried to gather all the concrete proofs and then sent a detailed report to the then Prime Minister and the then Home Minister of India. But unfortunately there was no action,” Azad remarked.
When asked whether it was due to the soft policy of the then Congress Government at the Centre towards militants, Azad said he would not say that it was due to soft stance of the then Government but there were some mainstream leaders acting as ‘double cross’. They had links with the terror outfits and at the same time were befooling New Delhi by projecting themselves as great nationalists and mainstream leaders. “I don’t know when such people will meet their fate,” Azad regretted.
